The Unsettling University Governance Project (Aug 2, 2023)
Welcome to Governance Hack Episode 2. Governance Hack is the podcast series for the Unsettling University Governance project. We’re an interdisciplinary team of minoritized faculty members with deep leadership experience, who work at Canadian public universities. The team brings bad attitudes and radical daydreams to the project of problematizing the university as we know it. The Unsettling University Governance project aims to trouble common sense understandings about university governance. The problem of how to democratize and decolonize university governance is a classic “wicked problem,” and this, the second in the Governance Hack podcast series, is focused on addressing Black leadership, Black representation and Black Studies in the Canadian University. Do dive into this contribution to challenging neoliberalism and managerialism and nudging towards inclusive excellence in the Canadian university.
